Table contains information from a survey among participants classified according to their age groups. The second column shows the percentage of obese people per age class among the study participants. The last column comes from a different study at the national level that shows the corresponding percentages of obese people in the same age classes in the USA. Perform a hypothesis test at the % significance level to determine whether the survey participants are a representative sample of the USA obese population.
| Age Class (Years) | Obese Expected (percentage) | Obese Observed (Frequencies) |
Table
A teacher predict that the distribution of grades on the final exam will be and they are recorded in table 11.27
The actual distribution for a class of 20 is in table 11.28
At thesignificance level, what can you conclude?
Use a solution sheet to solve the hypothesis test problem. Go to Appendix E for the chi-square solution sheet. Round expected frequency to two decimal places.
A manager of a sports club keeps information concerning the main sport in which members participate and their ages. To test whether there is a relationship between the age of a member and his or her choice of sport, members of the sports club are randomly selected. Conduct a test of independence.

Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most minutes. It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than minutes. Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next flights. The average delay for those flights is minutes with a standard deviation of minutes.
If an additional test were done on the claim of the average delay, which distribution would you use?
The number of births per woman in China is down from in . This fertility rate has been attributed to the law passed in restricting births to one per woman. Suppose that a group of students studied whether or not the standard deviation of births per woman was greater than . They asked women across China the number of births they had had. The results are shown in Table. Does the students’ survey indicate that the standard deviation is greater than ?
